MAIL TRIBUNE
What Happened to Prunes
Low prices, decline of export and domestic mar
kets, unreliability of production and neglect in main-
tabling proper quality standards have all figured in
the disappearance of the Oregon prune, accordmg
to the Oregon Statesman which is published in Salem,
the center of what was, some jrears ago, a major
prune producing region.
THE Statesman's editorial
- recent comment that California prune growers are
spending a considerable amount of money in popu
larizing their product, whereas the once flourishing
Oregon industry has dwindled and all but disap
peared. The Salem paper adds that too few prunes are
now being grown in Oregon and that it is sometimes
hard to get good Oregon dried prunes right in an
area which formerly grew the fruit in such quantity.
The Statesman editorial follows:
The Medford Mail-Tribune wonders what happened to the
growing of prunes in Oregon. Lots of things happened, chiefly
low prices, which resulted in the pulling up of prune orchards.
Lou of export markets in Central Europe and the Middle East
due to lack of dollar exchange; loss of domestic markets like
the lower East Side in New York due in part to competition
from citrus fruits and juices; unreliability of production due
to weather damage (frost, rains in blossom-time); neglect in
maintaining proper quality in prunes offered for sale.
As the M-T says, Oregon prunes are excellent for food,
nutritious and well flavored, though the Eastern trade always
preferred the sweeter California prune rather than our tart
sweet product. The prune was given an inferiority status in
boardinghouse days when stewed prunes were served so often
the dish became a joke "you're full of prunes."
There still is a sizable market for canned and dried prunes.
In fact the growing of prunes has been contracted too much in
Oregon sometimes it's hard to get good Oregon dried prunes
here. But it is doubtful if a promotion campaign such as the
M-T says is planned for California prunes will lift the Oregon
prune industry to its former dimensions.
e e e e
THE Eugene Register-Guard, noting the Medford
and Salem editorials on the passing of the Oregon
prune, ventures the opinion that the fruit could be
restored to popularity by better processing and skil
ful marketing. Says the R-G :
Down in California, energetic fruit growers are launching
a big advertising campaign to renew the popularity of the
prune and this has inspired the Medford Mail-Tribune and the
Statesman (Salem) to offer some comments on the decline of
Oregon's prune industry. They enumerate a number of dif
ficulties: Loss of export markets in Central Europe and the Middle
East due to lack of dollar exchange.
Loss of domestic markets in great American cities due to
the competition of other fruits and fruit juices.
Production hazards in the Northwest weather uncer
tainties, blights, and pests which make it difficult to maintain
quality.
The mysterious preference for California's sweet and
flabby, over Oregon's tart-sweet prunes.
Thirty years ago, the prune industry flourished in the
Northwest, especially in the Willamette Valley. The prune
drier, lifting its tower out of the orchard branches, was a
familiar sight in the region.
All this has disappeared. A few prune orchards remain
(mostly up in Polk County) but most of them have been pulled
up by the roots to make way for more profitable crops. A
few farmers specialize in the luscious Miller sweets but it is
necessary to hunt through the markets to find the genuine,
tart-sweet, blue prune.
In our opinion, the tart-sweet prune had no equal. Prop
erly prepared it had a form and flavor which made the mushy
giant from California tasteless by comparison. Part of the
difficulty in cooking any prune is in the preparation. So
many cooks refuse to take the trouble to soak them properly
and they boil them to a messy ruin.
It has always been our belief that the Oregon prune could
be restored to popularity by better processing and skilful
marketing. Most of the time we merely ride California's
coattails in marketing our own.

Its Tougher for Firebugs
Times are getting tougher for arsonists. Although
there has been no appreciable increase in the number
of fires, arrests and convictions of adult firebugs in
the United States have risen fifty per cent in the past
year, according to the National Board of Fire Under
writers. THE increase in arrests is believed partly due to the
greater interest being displayed by state and
municipal authorities in crimes of this type, and
partly to more efficient work in investigation and
prosecution.
A year ago the National board reported a sub
stantial reduction in the number of arson cases. In
fact, arrests and convictions then were at a possible
all-time low. Arson cases brought before the courts
have risen markedly of late, however, due to more
careful scrutiny where any slightest suspicion exists.
e a e
TPHE large increase in convictions this year is ex-
pected to prove a deterrent for those contemplat
ing "selling out to the insurance company," and also
for those peculiar characters who set things afire just
for the heck of it. E.C.F.
Blowout Blamed In
Hyiro, Okla. (U.R) In
vestigators said today a blowout
evidently caused a car and a
bus to plunge into a 30 foot can
yon, killing six persons and in

The Greyhound bus, carrying
38 persons, and an Illinois car
pulling a house trailer collided
one mile west of here yesterday.
The vehicles locked and spilled
off a bridge into a rocky creek
bed.
The Highway Patrol called the
accident the wont traffic mis
hap in Oklahoma history.
Deputy Sheriff E. W. Lewis
said tire marks indicated the
car driven by Manuel Wilkey
of Springfield, 111., had a blow
out, and that the vehicle swerved
into the bus.
The vehicles then plunged off
the bridge Into the creek, fall

The Mosquito Problem
To the Editor: And all persons
in Medford and vicinity who are
interested in mosquito control.
I had written to Senator
Wayne Morse to see if the gov
ernment would supply this sec
tion In and around Medford
with free insecticide for the
spraying of mosquitoes.
No, our government in Wash
ington has no free DDT for our
use.
But Senator Wayne Morse has
sent me all the books available
on mosquito control which I will
give our committee on Table
Rock rd. to study.
On August 4, I received the
following telegram from Sen.
Wayne Morse:
"Mrs. James H. Morrison
Rt. 2, Box 240, Medford, Ore.
"Am advised by Dept. of Agri
culture that DDT is only insecti
cide that has been sent to for
eign countries for use in mos
quito control work. Letter fol
lows. Regards.
"Wayne Morse, U.S. Senator.
Soon as this letter is received
I'll also give this information to
all who are interested in ridding
this section of Oregon of mos
quitoes. Surely if everyone would do
their fair share we could be en
tirely free of these pests and
then be able to enjoy the great
outdoors in peace and comfort.
And the children be able to play
in the open without being bitten
by these awful pests, mosquitoes.

Was T. R. a Socialist?
To the Editor: George Norris,
famous father of TV A used to
rise in the Senate of the United
States and say, "The water
comes from the air which be
longs to all of us to make the
rivers which belong to all of us,
which should be developed for
the benefit of all of us."
Theodore Roosevelt believed
that. Gifford Pinchot believed
that. No one ever accused any
of these famous Republicans of
leaning toward Socialism. NO'
one ever accused the founding
fathers in attendance at the Con
stitutional convention of at
tempting to set up a Socialistic
state when they wisely inserted
in the Preamble to the Constitu
tion the requirement, among
other things, to provide for the
general welfare.
As if he were aware of this,
the leader of the great crusade
on Oct. 6, 1952, in a speech at
Seattle, said: "Power develop
ment in the northwest must and
will go forward. In this continu
ing program the Federal govern
ment will play its full part."
Strange, is it not, that a few
months later the man who made
this positive statement, now the
President, looks the other way
while his hatchet man, the Sec
retary of the Interior, abetted by
a loaded jury sitting as the Fed
eral Power Commission, pre
pares to render a verdict that
will turn one of the last great
natural damsltes over to private
exploitation for private gain.
This, of course, in the name of
free enterprise. That the power
starved areas of Washington and
Oregon will get none of the
power to be generated at the
pygmy dams contemplated by
the Idaho Power company is
beside the point. "Creeping so
cialism" will have been stopped
dead in its tracks. Therein lies
the victory.
Somehow I have the feeling
that in the end the people wiU
win. Somehow our able friends
in the Congress, Wayne Morse,
Henry Jackson, Warren Magnu
son, Grade Pfost, will find a
way to block this latest raid on
the pubUc domain. The domain
Douglas McKay swore to pro
tect and defend now abandoned
to the power predators for there
to despoil. Hell's Canyon de
serves a kindlier fate than to
became the grave of an unful
filled pledge. Hell's Canyon is
By Jtofcrncf Co

Fluoride Vote Urged
To the Editor: Twenty-six
years ago the people of Medford
were fortunate in having a
group of city officials that had
the initiativeness and foresight
to install what was known as
our million dollar water system
and also called a mountain
spring In every home. For a
quarter of a century we have
been grateful for our wonderful
water.
Now we have a small group
who feel that fluoride must be
added to our water to protect
the health of the people.
In the past year there has
been many articles written on
this subject both for and against
the use of this chemical, and
they all felt that they were
speaking with authority. It
leaves a big question in the mind
of most people, is it beneficial or
harmful?
Wouldn't It be wisdom on the
part of our city officials, in view
of the fact that they are only
representatives of the people, to
first consult the people before
they took such drastic action as
to tamper with this wonderful
water that we have? For not too
many people care to be used as
human guinea pigs.
Let us put it on the ballot and
let the people speak.

Dr. Kinsey Says
Majority Violates
Nation's Sex Laws
Chicago U.R) Dr. Al
fred C. Kinsey said today that
85 per cent of all American
women, and 95 per cent of the
men, sooner or later engage in
sex acts that would land them
in jail If the laws could be en
forced. On the other hand, the famed
sex scientist and zoologist said
only about 1 per cent of the
population ever goes to Jail for
sex offenses.
"Our sex law are so com
pletely at variance with actual
behavior that fuU enforcement
is impossible," he told a news
conference yesterday.
"A great deal of everyday aex
behavior is illegal."
The Indiana University pro
fessor, author of "Sexual Behav
ior in the Human Male," and
the new, unreleased "Sexual Be
havior in the Human Female,"
addressed a refresher course for
prosecuting attorneys at North
western university.
Would Overflew Jails
At a news conference, Kinsey
said that police and prosecutors
commonly refuse to enforce sex
laws to the letter since such ac
tion, coupled with good detec
tion, would overflow the na
tion's jails.

hopes may be a five months va
cation. Its last act before ad

spendthrift old uncle can bor

The consress. of course, mizht
be called back in special session
to wrestle again with the debt
problem. If not the ceiling lift
ing operation will be given fur
ther consideration next January,
when congress assembles again.
HHA
T should be done?
Well, I used to know a tough
old character who had been in
several times up to his suspender
buttons in the financial bogs and
morasses but had always suc
ceeded in puUing out to dry
ground. I asked him one day
how he managed it.
He answered.
"It's perfectly simple, son.
Just work like hell and never
spend a cent, and the fust thing
you know you'll get outa the
hole."
He was weU upholstered when
I knew him.
I COMMEND his advice to con
gress. If our government will work
hard and cut expenses to the
bone, I think we will find that
we won'jt have to borrow any
more money. We may have to
scrape the bottom of the barrel,
but in the end we'll all be better
off for it. The last report I saw,
the government of the United
States had about six billion dol
lars of what merchants call
"money in the till." With care
ful management, you can do a
lot In the way of paying bills
with six billion dollars.
I have an idea that when the
members of congress get back
home and start circulating
around they'll find that a lot of
common, ordinary taxpaying
citizens are in the mood to give
it a trial.
SPEAKING of cutting govern
ment expense to the bone, a
lot of so-called economists insist
that if the government cuts its
spending business will suffer. '
I can't make myself agree
with that reasoning. All the
money the government spends
comes out of the people's pock
ets. If the government takes less
out of the people's pockets, the
people will have more to spend.
PRESIDENT EISEN H O W E R
asked congress to increase
the debt limit so that more
money could be borrowed to
meet commitments that are com
ing due.
Don't hold it against him. Ike
has lived all his life on a sol
dier's pay. When he thinks of
BILLIONS of dollars in debts
that have to be paid, he probably
gets stage fright.
At any rate, I can't help think
ing it wiU do us no harm to do
a little wondering about where
the money is coming from to pay
our national bills. When you
start wondering where you're
going to find the money to pay
your bills with you're apt to

News, Propaganda
Claimed Synonymous
To Russian Leaders
By PHIL NEWSOM

One of the basic differences
between the Western world and
Russia Is the attitude toward
world news.

sians, news
and propa
ganda are syn
onomous terms
designed only
to promote the
ideas of the

fin 4m h
Phil Nswmss. i communist or
Russian mind, the measure of
news is not whether it is true
or false but rather the purpose
it serves.
Often, then, western observers
must take into account the things
the Russians do not say or do in
order to have some understand
ing of the things they do say
or do.
. It was a slim bit of evidence,
but on June 27 western observ
ers wondered if there was sig
nificance in the fact that No. 2

Police Lavrentl Beria had failed
to attend the opera with other
Russian government heads.
It turned out that it was sig

Babson . . . Business Worries
By ROGER W. BABSON
Gloucester, Mass., (Special to
Mail Tribune). It is a beautiful
summer day and I have had time
to think of the
great changes
which have
taken place
since my boy
hood and the
foolishness o f
worrying
about what
c h a n g es can
do. The sailinz
Bsgar w. Bakaas, s h i p s are all
gone and my father thought
this was the end of the fishing
industry. Worst of all. the old
New England families began to
fade away. The old-timers then
certainly felt this would be the
end of Gloucester.
Yet, the fishing business to
day is greater than ever. The
sailing vessels have been re
placed by power-driven draggers
bringing in. a million pounds of
fish each day. The old families
are gone, but the population is
families larger with industrious
Italian families taking the lead.
Certainly, my father and his
friends lost much time in use
less worry.
I am sorry that the churches
have not grown with the in
dustries. I see nothing here
which can take their place.
Gloucester has a splendid sym
phony orchestra consisting of
local people. It has an active
literary and historical society.
It has become an important art
center. Whether these cultural
developments will take the place
of the religion of my youth is
doubtful. Liquor continues to be
a curse, but I see no drunken
ness on the streets.
Many People Worrying
About Next World War
Although the Korean truce
has been signed, most people
here feel that it won't amount
to anything. They are still wor
rying about World War III. I
can't see what Russia could pos
sibly gain by war now. The Chi
nese would like to use their time
and money in building up their
own country. I believe the time
is approaching when a foreign
army will refuse to fight any
free nations. More likely, na
tional armies are apt to strike
at home to correct conditions
in their own countries. In fact,
the military and veterans may
someday control the United
States. Being a veteran already
counts more in getting a posi

On July 10, it was disclosed
that Beria had been deposed and
arrested, for plotting to take
over the government
Since then, other shreds of
evidence have been studied care
fully to determine where the
seat of power really restswith
Premier Georgi Malenkov, with
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav
Molotov, with the army or with
a possible combination.
Heavy Interest
So this week's meeting of the
Supreme Soviet the Russian
Parliament was awaited with
more than the usual amount of
interest
Again, the Interest was divid
ed almost equally between those
who might not appear as those
who would.
One question was answered
immediately.
, Malenkov still Is among those
very much in charge.
Flanked on the one side by
Molotov and on the other by
Stalin's one-time father-in-law
Lazar Kaganovich, first deputy
chairman of the Council of Min
isters, Malenkov received a
standing ovation from the 2,000
members of the two houses.
There appeared to be no im

tion than being a college grad
uate, although those who enjoy
both have the best chances.
Surely, those who live on farms
or in small cities have little to
fear.
Parents who have been wor
rying about their boys in Ko
rea should realize that the last
20 years of war have not had
so many casualties as a similar
previous period suffered from
scarlet fever, diphtheria, ty
phoid and pneumonia. Your sons
may be safer in Korea than
racing about in an automobile
here at home. If you are wor
ried about juvenile delinquency,
just see that your boy works
hard all day so that he wants to
go to bed after supper instead
of running about town. Most
juvenile delinquency could be
abolished by merely changing
the laws as to boys and girls
working. Although I sometimes
think that even the driving of
automobiles by kids may be bet
ter training of their brains than
some of the subjects which they
are taught at school.
Keep in mind that a certain
proportion of the taxes paid by
businessmen will help business
during a depression. Taxes paid
for the support of farm prices,
payment of minimum wages,
old-age assistance, and the cost
of schools will come back to us.
Hence, don't worry so much
about taxes.
I recently attended a meeting
protesting high prices, which the
speaker blamed on the money
paid out by manufacturers and
retailers for advertising, re
search, etc. Still millions of peo
ple today owe their jobs to such
expenditures. If any reader is
out of a job, it is probably be
cause some penny-pinching em
ployer cut off advertising.
Bible Verses Suggested
As Cure for Worry
I have a very old Bible (1477
before Columbus discovered
America); every word penned by
hand. I find that certain por
tions show excessive use. It looks
as if the owners during the past
400 years used it to cure them
selves of worrying. For those
desiring to take such a "cure"
instead of pills or psychiatry, I
suggest the following: Matthew
5; verses 5,7,9 and 44; Matthew
6: 34; James 5; 16; and John
15: 7. These are the pills that
do me good when I am tempted
to worry, but I sometimes need
to read them many times before
they really sink in.
